Story here. Excerpt:
'Police appealed for the public's help to find her attacker after she said a man raped her on Saturday afternoon.
But after interviewing the girl, officers now say "no offence was found to have taken place".
Det Ch Insp Rebecca Mears said the girl had been spoken to by officers and regretted making the claim.
She added: "It is essential that victims of rape feel confident that police will support and encourage them to come forward and report the crime.
"In this instance, the girl making the false report has been spoken to by officers and understands and regrets the gravity of what she has done.
"Due to the circumstances of this particular case, the matter will not be taken any further."'

man freed (after being falsely convicted on woman's lies) after serving 25 years in prison, even though he had an alibi. he had proof he was at Disney in Fla. looks like a woman swapped some lies for her freedom.
to date somewhere around 300 men have been freed w/ the aid of the Innocence Project, primarily using d.n.a. evidence accidentally preserved and sometimes over the objections of the corrupt district attorneys who put them away. in this case the prosecution knew of the evidence of his innocence but chose not to share the info. w/ the defendant's legal team. iow, there was collusion in his false conviction.
and yet again, nobody from the privileged classes goes to jail. the woman actually got rewarded for putting an innocent man in prison.
and yet, there is a 'war on women'.
